Washington, D. C.. March 6.—(Special.)—
The skyrockets having- ci-ased to make lufid
the sky, and the beats of the drums having
quieted, the Texans begin to show them-
selves on the streets. Mr. Hedges. Who was
in evidence in T< xas during the last cam-
paign as a distributor of republican litera-
ture, has a room in which all Texans are
welcome. He has made out a list of tho. e
from the Lone. Star state, and they are
copied as follows: R. B. Hawley, Galveston;
E. H. R. Green. Terrell; Klias Ogden, San
Antonio; John Grant, Sherman; E. 11. Ter-
i-ell. San Antonio; 1). C. Kulp, Iowa Park;
Dr. G. G. Clifford, San Antonio; Sam
llaines, San Antonio; E. Lewis, Tyler;
George Clarke, Dallas; \V. H. Atwcll, Dal-
las; R. F. Campbell. El Paso; Captain Dll-
lion. El Paso; bam Flanagan, Longview; C.
M. Ferguson, Paris; K. J. Woody, Cleburne;
John Donaldson, Sherman; M. \V. Lawson.
Willis; J. W. Dursi, Brownsville; ii. .M.
Sheldon, iUnkport; J. L. Fori, Pittsburg;
H. C. Ellis, Houston; W. M. Luiton,
Hrownsvillt; Cecil Lyon, Sherman; W. J.
Warsaw, Dublin; W. H. Nobk, Galveston;
C. H. Ferguson, Richmond; 14. lv. Davis,
Hearne; J. W. Sanson, Uvalde; T. \V. Man-
chester, Fort Worth.
I have tried to ascertain from all the vis-
itors with whom I have talked as to who
would be the man looked at as the guide
in the appointments. There is not one ot
them who knows. Each and every one of
them says that the next ten days will tell.
In my opinion more time than this will be
required to develop the republican ones of
our state.
Green has headquarters and is acting,
very properly, too. as the chairman of thfc
republican executive committee, and there
are many of the Texans who believe that
his indorsement will l c the one required
to place an olllce seeker in a soft place.
Granit has a single room in a hwtel here
and is far from making any display, but his
mail is most voluminous, and from it the
conclusion is natural that down in Texas
there are hundreds who believe he will be
the man on whom the powers will call for
indorsement.
There is absolutely no accord between
the Grant and Green elements at present-
it looks as if there was none. All of the
leaders (by which 1 mean Green, Grant,
Hawley and Terrell), have .been to see Mc-
Kinley, but most of them got nothing from
him but pertunctory politeness. Grant came
away iroin him smiling, and 1 have reusons
to know that he had a right to feel pleased.
1 have not seen Green or Terrell since their
visit to him. Terrell having been minister
to Kelgium and having a broad acquaint-
ance socially, is strong.
Ogden of San Antonio is here and is also
strong. He has made a character as a
lawyer and is in the role of a non-seeker ot,
oitioe and devoted friend of peace. )t isj
said by some of the republicans that ho
might be willing to go on the federal bench,
but his friends say he makes too much
money in his profession to take office. He
belongs to the Green faction of his party,
but is, as 1 have said, playing the role of
pacificator.
Mr. At well of Dallas is after the district
attorneyship of the northern district of
Texas. Mr. Atwell will be remembered as
having been one of the orators at the re-
publican convention at Fort Worth. He
was out of place in that convention be-
cause he looked for all the world like a
young lawyer democrat who had been edu-
cated at the state university. His hair was
long and he wore it just like Bryan. He lias
had it cut now, has none ol the university
vocal ism and is down after the ofttoe, beiri£
a very plain, common sort and sensible fei-
low. • '
• Dr.-Clifford of San Antonio positively re-
fuses to say what he is here for. When the
pertinent, if not impertinent, question was
asked him as to his mission, ne replied that
he had come simply to see The News cor-
respondent.
Mr. Samuel Haines, who is the president
of the state republican league, is on hand.
He wants the collectors-hip at Galveston.
Mr. Jim Fore of Pittsburg wants to be
marshal of the Eastern district of Texas.
H. K. Davis is on hand with a desire to
be the collector of Galveston.
Mr. Lapowski of Abilene, who toid me he
had just stopped over for a moment on his
way home from New York, still remains
here. 1 do not know, but, 1 have an idea
that Mr. Lapowski has a brother with ofli-
cial aspirations.
Nearly every man in the list given here
is after an office, but it is impossible at
this moment to inform the community as
to what they want.
Mr. Bob Henry, the congressman from
the Pendleton district, has arrived with his
family. He is the only new congressman
except Hawley on hand.
The democratic caucus to select the mi-
nority candidate for speaker will meet next
Saturday at 3 o'clock. Mr. Bailey is a can-
didate tor the honor and can win if his
friends are on hand. If the new members
want to aid him they must be on hand at
the time mentioned.
The Day at tlie White House.
Washington, D. C., March 6.—The execu-
tive mansion to-day -was again the center
of attraction for great crowds of visitors
and for many prominent public men. Pres-
ident McKinley was at his desk at 9 o'clock,
clearing away the more pressing matters
before the public demands upon his time.
First to receive attention was the subject
of the cabinet. The nominations having
been confirmed, it remained to make out
the commissions, administer the oath and
install the members of the cabinet in their
several departments. The commissions
were signed by the president early in the
day, and efforts were made to have all the
cabinet assembled in the president's office
at 1U.3U to be sworn in by the chief justice
of the United States, in the meantime
many senators, representatives and officials
called. Mr. Wilson, the new secretary ol
agriculture, was among the early callers.
There came a steady line of prominent pul»-
lic men. including Senator Proctor of Ver-
mont, Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, Sen-
ator Mills of Texas and Senators Davis and
Nelson of Minnesota. General Alger, Cor-
nelius P.liss and Mr. Gary, membe rs of the
new cabinet, arrive I at 10.15 and rt paired
to the president's apartments. Public men
continued to assemble upstairs, awaiting
the president. Among them w< re Powell
Clayton of Arkansas, who, it is believed,
will be appointed to the Mexican mission.
Secretary Porter used his utmost tact to
advance the callers as fast as possible, and
yet to give those already with the president
some fair measure of time. By 1L\20 there
was a lull of comparative quiet, which al-
lowed the president to spend an hour at
his desk before going to lunch. The crowd*
showed no abatement to l.:io o'clock, and at
that hour an official accustomed to esti-
mating numbers visiting the white house
said that over 500U persons had entered the
* mansion since 10 o clock.
Among those who called at the white
house building was Mr. Julius Palmer, ex-
Queen Llltuokalani's private secretary,
who bore an autograph note addressed io
the president, expressing the desire of the
ex-queen for an audience with the presi-
dent at the earliest possible moment on
account of the crowd the letter was deliv-
ered to the policeman on guard at the en-
trance for delivery. The crowds continued
to besiege the outer doors and upper cor-
ridors throughout the afternoon. Many
olubs called upon the president. At 1 o'clock
Vice. President Ho bar t called and held a
short conference with the president.
The president will attend church to-mor-
row at the Metropolitan Methodist church,
where Bishop Newman, an old friend of the
president, will preach.
McKinley Took a Walk.
Washington, D. C., March 6.—President
McKinley took a long walk through the
Ftreets of Washington Just before dusk to-
night, and was cheered several tlm<-s along
the 'way. It was an uncommon sight to see
the president swinging along in this fash-
Ion, lor Mr. Cleveland seldom, 11' ever,
Jvalked through tic; .streets, and not since
Grant's time had Washington seen a presl-
?^nl J°*nln8 in the general throngs alon*
Ihe thoroughfares,
XI liad Uien a tattguUitf day at Ui£ ex-
ecutive mansion, so at 5 o'clock the presi-
di nt tasked Secretary Porter to join him in
a stroll. The president wore his lwaver
coat and silk hat, with a silk muffler at
his threat. I"h> \ emerged from the white
house grounds by the easterly walk and
tuvivd into Pennsylvania avenue, going
w i. Twice the president was joined by
som« friend, the latter one continuing
thrici'^ht l the walk. When he was first
recognized by the passing crowds some
dozen or more people began to follow, but
il,«- ; i sldent < ut across the street at the
war. state and navy building and retraced
his steps. tVefore he left the avenue a
cheer wi nt up from a party of men who
reogiVzed him. He touched his hat in rec-
ognition. Further on a party of ladies and
gentlemen saluted him in passing and he
ri'. iirned them a bow. It was almost dark
when the president turned back to the
white house, looking much refreshed from
the brisk walk,

tion convoking congress in extra session

Parties In the Senate.
Washington, D. C.. Mnrch 6.—The republi-
can senators remained in caucus an hour
and a half,to-day discussing the situation
of the parties in the senate. The only.con-
clusion reached was the direction of the ap-
pointment of a committee to confer with
other parties in Hie senate relative to va-
cancies in the senate committees. Senator
Allison was made chairman of this advis-
ory committee with power to name other
members, it was evident to the republicans
that they did not have organizing majority
as the parties now stand.

tion to table the resolution' prevailed. The
state recently purchased a large portrait of
William J. Bryan, done in oil by a Little

portrait temporarily in the position now
occupied by the likeness of Jefferson Davis.

COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
Collision Between Engines.
Laredo, Tex.. March G.—This evening one
of the switch engines, while coming around
a sharp curve in turning Into Eagle Pass
street, oolllded with an engine which was
pulling four dead engines to the yards In
New Laredo, where they were taking out
freight trains to-night. In the collision
three of the engines were so damaged as
to necessitate taking them back to the
shops for repairs. None of the crews were
hurt.
Section Hand Hart.
Carbon, Eastland Co., Tex., March 5.—J.
T. Daffern., a section hand on the Texas
Central, was seriously Injured this morn-
ing by -falling from a moving work train
beneath a crosst'ie. The extent of his in-
juries ut this time is not known.
Madrjjl, March 6.—(Copyright, 1S97, by the
Associated Press,)—A very troubled condi-
tion of affairs prevails in Spain. The most
acute distress is being experienced. The
Carlists are showing unmistakable signs of
activity and there is further alarming news
from the Philippine islands. The govern-
ment is disgusted with the performance of
Captain General Weyler ii*Cuba, but they
dare not recall him.
In this connection a startling explanation
of the position of the government is hinted
at. According to the rumors circulated
here the reasons why Weyler is not recalled
are: 1. Because he is a pronounced repub-
lican. 2. Because it is intimated that soon-
er than return to Spain in disgrace he
would proclaim a republic in Havana.
The dissatisfaction is most severe in the
Biseayan province. The people of Leon are
on the verge of starvation, the crops hav-
ing been practically destroyed by the re-
cent floods, which followed severe drouth,
w hile on all sides flocks anel herds are dy-
ing of famine and disease.
In Lr. Mancha the failure of the olive
crop has prevented the peasants from earn-
ing anything the whole*winter, and large
numbers of them are barely able to keep
body and soul together by subsisting on
anything procurable. Very many families
have not seen a loaf of bread for months,
and meat has been far out of their reach
since fall. The distress is not confined to
isolated districts. All the towns and vil-
lages are afflicted more or less, and as a
rule the inhabitants are famishing, many
of them being reduced to subsist on corn.
In this city, for instance, where it might
be expected that the distress due to crop
failure would be hardly felt, over 2500 per-
sons are being fed daily from charitable
sources. Under the circumstances it is not
astonishing that hundreds of families are
emigrating and that thousands of families
would do so had they the means to leave
the country.
Coupled with this great distress are ru-
mors of t«he increasing strength of the Car-
list agitation in the northwest and central
parts of Spain. This is causing the great-
est anxiety in political circles, in spite
of the recent formal declarations of the
Carlist senators and deputies that Don
Carlos, the pretender to the throne of
Spain, will not make any attempt to disturb
the peace of the country so long as the
government has its severe colonial trou-
bles t«o deal with. The pretender is thus
assuming a patriotic attitude, which is well
calculated t»o win him many sympathizers
and may be of material use to him when
his advisors direct that the moment has ar-
rived for him to make another attempt to
reach the throne <^f Spain.
That he will do so sooner or later nobody
seems tip doubt., but it would hardly be in
keeping|\with Spanish chivalry to take ad-
vantage at the present time of the sore dis-
tress of the suffering land.
SanKuilly ia New York.
New York, March G.—Julio Sanguilly, re-
cently released from imprisonment in Cuba,
arrived in this city to-day. At the Jersey
City depot of the Pennsylvania railroad he
was met by about 100 Cubans of this city.
He was embraced by them and they
cheered for him and for free Cuba and
General Lee and the United States. Among
those who met him were Mrs. General Cal-
ixto Garcia, wife of the Cuban general, his
brother Manuel and his brother's wife and
fifty or sixty members of the Oscar Prill-
ed.es club, including Dr. Lincoln Dezzagas,
Dr. Juneo, R. Manele and F. Chenard.
Scott and Score I Cases.
Havana, March 0.—The correspondent of
the Associated Press is informed from the
highest authority that the cases of Charles
F. Scott and Sylvester Scovel. correspond-
ent of the New York World, the two Amer-
icans imprisoned in Cuba, will be settled in
a satisfactory manner in five or six days.
A Scene in the Arkansas House.
Little Rock, Ark., March 6.—An exciting
scene occurred in the house of representa-
tives to-day when Representative Smith of
Cross county offered a resolution to tem-
porarily substitute the picture of William
J. Bryan for that of Jefferson Davis on the
wall of the hall of representatives during
the visit of Mr. Bryan to Little Rock next
week. The reading of the resolution was
followed immediately by an uproar, there
being loud yells of "Never," "No," "We'll
never take Jeff Davis down," and other
similar expressions of disapproval. A mo-

The In a u g u nil in Mexico.
City of Mexico, March 6.—For the first
time in the history of Mexican journalism
the American president's inaugural ad-
dress was published the following morn-
ing. The Associated Press report, filling
several columns of the Mexican Herald,
was everywhere complimented. Mexican
statesmen had the satisfaction of reading
the inaugural at the breakfast table, and
the general tone of comment is very fa-
vorable to the good sense and moderation
of the new American president.
The Mexican Herald says: "President
McKinley's message is a strong document,
well reasoned and logical, from the pro-
tectionist standpoint. It was expected that
the champion of protection would offer the
famllitr high tariff remedy for all the in-
dustrial anel financial ills ot the American
people. The manly and statesmanlike ut-
terances of Mr. McKinley on the pending
question of the arbitration treaty with
England may be taken as a rebuke to the
wrangling and pettifogging senators. He
shows no jealousy of the great achievement
of Cleveland and Olney. but patriotically
takes up their task where they have been
forced lo leave. It is a notable utterance,
and shows McKinley at his best. The mes-
sage is a credit to the heart and brain of
McKinley." _

Greek Reserves In Amerien. .
New York, March (>.—Skouses, minister
for foreign affairs to King George of the
Hellenes, cables to-day to the acting Gre-
cian minister, instructing him to call out
the members of the Grecian reserves in the
United States, and to urge them to ko to
tho assistance of their native country. D.
N. Boatesi, who is acting minister and also
consul general of Greece in New York, in
an interview says the cablegram is of a
most alarming nature and indicated that
war is imminent. He said:
"In this country there are about 20,000
Greeks. Of these probably about 5000 be-
long to the army reserve. Through the
Associated Press, in the name of King
George, I wish to officially notify all re-
serves of the Grecian army everywhere in
this country that their fatherland calls
them back to its ranks."
